Preliminary
Definitions
Define -ary function
It is easy to see that is an L-S function, which is called Lebesgue function, abbreviated as L function. The L-S measure induced by the -dimensional L function on is called Lebesgue measure on , abbreviated as measure, denoted as , thus is a measure space.
is the outer measure in measure extension from semi-ring to sigma algebra.
Let be the completion of . is called Lebesgue measurable set, abbreviated as L measurable set.
Properties
- L measure is invariant under translation, i.e. , ( is L measurable is L measurable), and
- L measure is invariant under reflection, i.e. , ( is L measurable is L measurable)
- , s.t. is not L measurable. For example, Vitali set.
